What’s the best way for a recycling company in South Africa to get a website?
A one-page website can show the materials you buy, your yard address, your hours and the areas you collect in. Customers can WhatsApp you to sell scrap or book a collection. Just1 builds it over WhatsApp for R97 once-off, with the first 3 months online included, then R97 every 3 months. If you want changes after delivery, R199/month includes WhatsApp edits.

People search for “scrap metal” most
From 2019 to 2025, South Africans searched “scrap metal” (74) more than “recycling near me” (22) or “recycling companies” (16). “Scrap metal prices” scored 9. “Scrap metal buyers” averaged under 1. These are Google’s averages for one comparison. Put “scrap metal” and your town in your page title, and list the metals you buy.

Scrap metal searches run all year
From 2019 to 2025, Google searches for “scrap metal” in South Africa averaged between 64 and 86 in every month. January was highest (85.3), then August (83.9) and December (80.1). April was lowest (64.4). People look for scrap buyers all year, so a page with what you buy and your WhatsApp number works for you every month.
“Near me” searches are rising
From 2019 to 2025, “scrap metal dealers near me” rose 1,700%, “scrap metal prices near me” 1,450% and “scrap metal buyers near me” 850% on Google in South Africa. “Scrap metal collectors near me” and “electronic waste recycling near me” were breakout searches. Name the areas you buy and collect in, and say if you collect.
Only 11% of general waste was kept out of landfill
The government’s National Waste Management Strategy 2020 says South Africa generated 55 million tonnes of general waste in 2017. Only 11% was kept out of landfill. The strategy wants more recycling. It also says buy-back centres that buy recyclables from waste pickers are generally run as formal businesses.
